WHOSE TRACKS ARE IN THE SWAMP?
.Tinker Bob, Tinker Bob, where are
'. you at?
A. wonderful story told by a rat
Come to me, come to me, quicker than
scat."
Silky, the silly monkey, was getting
quite poetical. But it was nothing
strange for him to be doing things out
of the ordinary. He sang his little
song on the steps In front of the
King's palace for it was there he had
een Jack, the wood Rat, and had had
a discussion with him about Jack, the
Rabbit.
. Said he: "Don't you suppose that I
can tell when I see the tracks of that
young rabbit? You must think I am
crazy."
Said Jack, the Rat: "I didn't say that
you were crazy but I say that there
are other rabbits that make tracks
that are no relation to the rabbit of
the forest. And I said, being that
you saw those tracks down in the
swamp, they might bo the tracks of
another rabbit."
. "It's you that's crazy," said Silky,
"I guess I know Jack, the Rabbit's,
tracks when I see them. You make
me laugh. I just can't help it." Then
Silky laughed and he laughed and then
leaned against a tree and laughed
nome more. "What kind of feet does
the other rabbit have?" he asked final
ly. "You silly thing." said Jack, the
"Wood Rat, "what kind of feet do you
suppose he would have?"
"Well, you said that the track I saw
might have been that of another kind
of a rabbit. I didn't know but he
might have had feet like a bird." Then
Silky laughed some more till Jack, the
Rat, was completely disgusted with
htm. He had tried to explain the dif
ference between Jack, the forest rab
bit, and some of the other rabbits that
were not so familiar in the forest but
the .poor simple monkey could not or
would not take it as Jack meant. That
Is the reason Silky called for the
King in order that the argument might
be settled.
The King came. "What is all this
laughing about?" he asked.
Jack, the Wood Rat, told him all
Silky laughed and lie laughed and
then leaned against a tree and laughed
some more.
about it for Silky couldn't speak for
laughing so much
"Well, the thing to do is to go to the
place where Silky saw these tracks
and see if we can find the one who
made them," advised Tinker Bob. And
that being just the thing to do so tney
all sta-ted through the forest to the
swamp where Silky had seen the
tracks.
Now Jack, the Rabbit, had over
heard the conversation between Jack
and Silky and he followed them hid
ing behind the old logs and clumps
of weeds in order that none of the
party could see him for he wanted to
know what they discovered in the
swamp. Upon their arrival Silky went
at once to the place where he had
seen the tracks. What do you suppose
he found?

After a restaurant had burned down

strength and allowed to dry on the
skin. It should not come in contact
- with the lashes or brows as . it will

Bright Eyes: In making cucumber
lotion, the vegetable should be ripe and
retain the skin. Cut the cucumber into
small pieces and place them in a stew
pan with very little water: Cook slowly
until all of it is softened, so that it may
be put through a sieve and afterward
strained through a fine cloth. This lo
tion can be used just as it is, but it will
not keep sweet longer than a few days.
An extract can be made which will

may not keep as well as if you had this
ingredient in it. The wax in any cream
helps to hold all the other materials
together, otherwise, they might sepa
rate after a time. In a cream used for
nourishment and healing, wax does
more than hold the other parts of the
cream together; it has this same effect
upon the pores of the skin, which seals
and preserves the natural secretions,

tossing it about between the fingers al

after which, allow it to dry in these cir

And morning, sang mid fire and dew,
While toward the skies
Spiraled in the unmeasured blue
The butterflies. j
